Deprecation of (Legacy) Course Publisher with the July '24 Release
The Course Publisher has been used to upload Online Courses since 2009. In 2017, Cornerstone introduced the Content Uploader, a course upload tool used by over 81% of our customers.
The Content Uploader counters the following limitations of Course Publisher:
As the Content Uploader was designed as an improved replacement for Course Publisher to address the challenges identified in Course Publisher and enhance the administrator experience for uploading, versioning, and modifying online courses, Cornerstone will deprecate the Course Publisher and upgrade all clients to use the Content Uploader.
Feature Parity Exclusions and Considerations
The Bulk Publish is currently unavailable in Content Uploader, but the feature will be available via Catalog by March ’24 as a part of Content Uploader enhancement. As of now, upload courses using Edge Import Load as a workaround.
